    Router problem? Overload

    It seems when refreshing a game server list my router just doesn't want to play ball. I'll refresh the list and it won't come up straight away so I have to click stop, if I let the server list run for any time longer, webpages won't load but I'll still receive some say instant messages.

    When I finally get a refreshed server list I can only ping say 30 servers or again, my router doesn't like it and I can't access webpages again for say 60 seconds or so.

    Any reason for this at all? I've also noticed it when using uTorrent that retrieving webpages can be incredibly slow at times with a relatively small d/l & u/l speed.

    Thanks in advance.

    Re: Router problem? Overload

    What kind of router do you have? How are you connected to it?

    I connect to mine wirelessly, and it's a Belkin F5D7632. I find that enabling any more than 100 connections in emule or Torrent overloads it and kills internet access for anything else. It's due, as I understand it, to the number of connections your router can take.

    but also, apparently, due to how many half open connections windows can handle(?). someone else will help you with that.

    I think mines the same model as yours mate. It’s about 2-3 years old – could be the router! It’s so temperamental with refreshing server lists for games servers. Didn’t get the same prob when I was running an internal ADSL modem.

    It’s connected by an RJ45 so not wireless mate.

    That's a co-incidence!

    oddly, mine has become more stable since I started plugging into it.

    I think we're both dependant on someone with more knowledge than me.

    Re: Router problem? Overload

    Have you tried to update them to the latest firmware revisions as this sometimes fixes niggly issues?

    [EDIT] I just remembered, my old, old D-Link router crashed too when games were doing things like server scans and whatnot. I found that sticking my gaming PC's IP address as the DMZ within the router sorted this out and it didn't crash as often. However, if you attempt this please be aware that DMZ means that your PC will not be behind the NAT and as such open to the internet, so be careful

    Re: Router problem? Overload

    Yeah madduck - it's the same if you search google for " Belkin concurrent connections "

    Threads and pages galore dedicated to the fact it fails when too many connections are running.

    Re: Router problem? Overload

    I used to use an Asus wireless ADSL/ADSL2+ router before I moved across to Be there.

    It never died once and was stable as anything which was shocking as I never expected it to outperform other vendors equipment.

    Now I'm on the speedtouch ST 780WL and in the process of finding the optimum settings in regards to the problems with too many concurrent connections crashing it.

    i dont think you ever will, mine used to download fine but then seem to "overstrech" itself, and the connection would die for a min or so... no amount of fiddleing did anything

    edit: that was using ethernet from another router too, so not a wireless issue
